Luis Enrique

Let's hope that Lucho will play with the best 11 against Celta since we can win La liga now.

If he'll rest 5 players for a possible 0:4 comeback against Psg and then ruin both La liga and (already lost) CL...

Wondering what made him announce it today. Weird desicion. Great coach, we had a nice run with him and could end up with 10 trophies in 3 seasons, which is great achievement. Kinda sad to see him go, but it is understandable on all levels.

In 2013, in Bayern they knew since January that Heynckess will leave and Pep will be a new coach, and they won almost all matches in Bundesliga and won a CL.

It doesn't need to be a negative thing if a team knows that a coach is leaving.

Sure, we will see how this turns out.

Sure, we will see how this turns out.

I have whined about our motivation for Months.
Since the 80th minute against Leganes, when we were at the rock bottom after 1:1, we showed some spirit and a team started to fight from that moment.

Our last 10+90+90 minutes against Leganes, Atletico and Gijon are probably the most motivated and passionate matches in 2016 and 2017.
So, the team has started to fight again (like after Sociedad in 2014/15), we have a chance to win La liga again, Lucho said that he is leaving.

We have a momentum currently and dark clouds are lifting.
I hope that a possible exit from a CL next Wednesday won't ruin our current La liga's momentum.

At least the left flank looks good.

Thanks for everything, Lucho...

But yeah, his time is over so it's good news... I think the team knew this was coming and are using it as a motivation to leave in a high note, I have no problems with him announcing it now...

Hahaha, what is that 🙃

Looks like they were trying to draw a dinosaur......or something...

Hahaha, what is that ��

But you don't need to look at that to tell that this formation makes better use of the players at our disposal. The biggest factor for me is is having a player out wide right to allow Messi to play his now preferred AM position. And at the same time it's more defensively sound with the RCB always staying back instead of the fullback providing width. And I think we could get even better if we stick with this formation. Shoulda gone to it much sooner.

Going by what we saw today it seems the players seemed to enjoy the 3-4-3 formation. it isn't perfect obviously but I want us to stick with it more and instead of going back to the 4-3-3.

I dunno about you guys, but this is one of the happiest days of my life.

Like I've hoped and prayed he'd leave.

You prayed for this? Come on everyone knew he was going to get fired/forced out within 2-4 years of getting the job. Were you worried Enrique was going to become the first La Liga Wenger or Ferguson? Barcelona and Madrid don't work that way, they don't have coaches for life. 3 years is pretty long by those club's standards, Enrique himself probably had 3 years as a realistic personal goal at the start. These coaches aren't idiots and they know that the Barca/real manager role is a temporary thing with a messy divorce at the end.

 

[Horatio]

Anyone read the headline?

It says they will stay with the current trainer and talk about his future in April.
So yeah...he will leave.

Called it.

Hahaha, what is that ��

It's called the 'Neymarvelous tactical scheme'.
